Comfortable in every sense of the word, with warm hospitality and world-class cuisine, the lodge has just four chalets to ensure the highest level of seclusion and the ultimate opportunity to enjoy some of life’s most precious elements: time, fresh air and open space, while creating lifelong memories with friends and family.
